A Study of She.

5 The more we study she the more
we don't understand how it is that
She IS able to twist us around her
little finger whenever She feels
like it. But She is.
For whom is that in childhood s
happy days we fight with a boy
three sizes larger than ourselves,
and get SO severely punished that
we can't sit up for a week? Why,
for She-and She only laughs at
us for orr pains.
Who is It that devours all our
spare change in the shape of cara
mels, and calls for more and gets
them, too? She.
For whom do we linger at stage
doors with ten dollar boquets, to
purchase which we have to endure
q fortnight's martyrdom at free
lunch counters She.
Who is it that at the railroad
restaurant deals out the soul de-
stroying sandwich and the death
dealing doughnut! TITS She every
time. If it were He we would slay
him on the spot and glory in the
deed.
Who accepts our hard earned
gold on the pretense Of being a
first class cook, and then broils
our steak in frying pan and boils
our coffee an hour! She. LTD.
Who is it that accepts our thea
tire tickets, our So suppers, our
bouquets and our devotion, and
then goes off and marries another
fellow? She-and for this we ought
to forgive her a good deal.-Tid
Bits.

TRULY BRAvE.-True bravery is
sedate and inoffensive. If it refu-
ses to submit to insult, it offers
none; it begins no disputes, en-
ters into no needless quarrels, is
above the little troublesome ambi-
tion to be distinguished every mo-
ment, bears in silence, and replies
with modesty, fearing no enemy,

ashamed Of insolence as coward

For WORMS One Of the simplest
and best remedies to be given to
children troubled with worms is
poplar bark. Physicians use it
with marked success. It can be
bought at any drug store. Take
a pinch Of the bark-as much as
you can hold on the point Of a
penknife-and give it (the bark,
not the knife) before breakfast. It
has clean, bitter taste, and any
child will take it,
How To MAKE TEA.-A cup of
tea is generally made the wrong
way. In the first place the tea is
made too strong, thus losing the
full tea flavor. In the second, the
tea is boiled, extracting the bitter
fannie acid from the leaf, while
the tea aroma is lost by evapora-
ton. In China the tea is made
weak in the cups from which it is
drank, the water being poured
boiling hot on the leaves, covered
for afew minutes, and then drank
without milk or sugar. But that
is matter of taste. The water
with which tea is made should be
fresh, not drawn from the boiler,
nor taken from the kettle in which
it has been kept standing OIL the
stove, but freshly boiled for the
purpose, and the kettle in which
it is boiled should only Fused for
water. Wash and scald the tea
pot, and allow an even teaspoon
of tea for three cnps Of Tea. Pour
cupful Of water on the leaves,
cover the teapot closely and set
for ten minutes on the back Of the
stove or range to draw If you
use a teapot 'cosey that is, a
three.cornered bag Of quilted
wooden to cover the teapot-the
tea will draw just as well on the
table. Fill the teapot with water
and send to the table. It is abso.
lutely necessary that the water
used to draw the tea should be
boiling fnrionsly, not merely at
the boiling point; but the tea must
not boil an instant after it is
poured on. A lump Of loaf sugar
put in the teapot with the tea is
said to hasten the infusion.

How Kindness Will Paw.

AN effort made for the happi.
ness of others lifts us above our
selves.' Therefore the young
should cultivate the art of kindness
for the truly great men are the
really kind men.
While Gen. Grant was president,
ne was at one time the guest of
Martin Jewell, at Hartford, Conn.
At a reception rendered him by the
Governor, where all the prominent
men OF the state were gathered, a
roughly penciled note in common
envelope, signed by woman, was
handed him. It was put into his
hands by young politician, who
thought it a joke that IAN old wo-
man in tatters'' should presume to
intrude upon the President at such
time. "You need not bother
about her: l sent her away-told
her you were not here to be bored,
the young man said to Grant.
| The Presidents answer much
surprised the politician. 'Where
IS this woman; where can I find
her?' he inquired hurrying from
the room. The letter he held in
his hand, written poorly in pencil,
told sorrowful story. It said in
substance: !.
my son fought in your army,
and he was killed by rebel bullets
while fighting for you. Before he
died he wrote me a letter which
told how noble man you were,
and said you would look out for
his mother. [ am poor, and /
haven't had money or influence to
get anybody interested in me to
get a pension. Dear General, will
you please help me for my dead
boys sake?
Sadly the woman had turned
away from the mansion, her last
hope dead. A servant pointed her
out to President Grant, walking
slowly up the street. The old SOL
der overlook her quickly. She was
weeping, and turned towards him
a puzzled face as he stopped her
and stood bareheaded in the moon
light beside her. The few words
the great kind man spoke turned
her tears into laughter, her sorrow
into joy. The pension before re-
fused her came to her speedily,
and her last days were spent in
comfort. 49,. u
Here was a true man whom the
honor Of the world could not spoil!
What wonder the world mourned
when he was taken away before
his time.
True kindness is never without
it's reward. Years ago lady in a
stage noticed a barefooted bow
walking. She ordered the driver
to stop and take him in, and paid
his fare. She questioned the boy
concerning his future, and learned
that he longed to be sailor. She
gave him several dollars, wished
him success, and urged him to be
good and true. Twenty years af-
forwards a wealthy captain,
riding along the same road, OBJ

ing. He requested the driver to
stop and give her seat. The lady
thanked him, telling him she was
not able to pay for a seat. Said
the Captain:

A Question Of Race-Right.

airy who had very bright daugh-
ter, and he conceived the idea of
educating her and securing an ap-
pointmont for her as teacher
among the aboriginies. Accord
ingly, he sent her East to be pol
ished off in all the details necessa-
ry, and this proposition was soon
noised about among the Indians.
They decided that one of their own
race would be proper one for the
position, and, after consultation,
half-breed maiden was chosen
and sent East on the same errand
as the missionary's daughter. Both
young ladies finished their studies
and returned to the reservation
about the same time, but the prize
was awarded to the white mans
child. Twenty dollars month
was the amount involved, and
when the white squaw, as the In
dams termed her, opened school,
there was but one pupil for her to
teach. Her dusky sister being dis.
appointed in securing the place,
opened free school and all the
Indians sent their pappooses to her
institution. Trouble was inaug-
urated between the rival school.

school. But they would not be
coerced, and number of troops
were sent to the scene to preserve
order and compel the "little In
| iunS' to learn their 1essons undor
the guidance Of the white seuaw.
The cost of transportation and
maintenance of the troops for sew
eral months cost the United States
something like $4,000 and all for
a 500 month place. And in the
end the Indians were victorious
and routed the white school

1.-THE above are facts, as vouched
for by residents who are acquaint-
ed with the case and parties con-
cerned in the circumstance. And
may it be stated, that the question
of race-right Or preference Of en-
ployment" has almost invariably
received prestige in favor of per-
sons not connected with the Res
ervation, Notwithstanding the
fact that statutory authority and
treaty stipulation, are ample and
specific that ssany Indian or mixed
blood, when competent, shall be
given the preference" Several
such cases have come under our
notice of late years in which home
talent has been humbled and
crowded aside, to make room for
foreign favoriteism, and of which
we will speak more of, at another
time.-Ed.
